The year 2011 marks the 40th anniversary of BILL NELSON's recording career and to celebrate this Esoteric Recordings announce a new release on their recently launched Cocteau Discs imprint, the lavish boxed set THE PRACTICE OF EVERYDAY LIFE Celebrating Forty Years of Recordings." This is the most extensive and detailed anthology of Bill's astoundingly creative career to date.

Over the past four decades Bill has consistently proved himself to be one of Britain's most original and creative musicians, exploring an astonishing diversity of musical styles, consistently pushing musical boundaries and earning the admiration of legions of fans throughout the world and enlightened critics alike. As a guitarist, Bill ranks as a great and uniquely gifted figure, but this eclectic selection of tracks also highlights his work as a singer/songwriter and instrumental composer.

The 1971 album Northern Dream was the first release of his illustrious career. Although recorded on rudimentaryequipment at a small Wakefield recording studio, the record was a fine early example of an independently produced album. Northern Dream was championed by the legendary DJ John Peel and paved the way for Bill's future career, beginning with his legendary band Be Bop Deluxe, (a group who recorded five successful studio albums plus a live album for EMI's Harvest label), and the equally innovative Red Noise. His acclaimed solo career continued with the release of the album Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam , and a succession of diverse releases for both major labels and his own independent company, Cocteau Records (a venture which saw Bill become a pioneer of the do-it-yourself approach to recording and releasing music).

Track listed by Bill himself, this deluxe anthology gathers together more than 150 tracks over Eight CDs. The set beginswith his earliest recordings and includes previously unreleased material by Be Bop Deluxe, along with examples from Bill'sextensive solo catalogue, exploring a wide range of styles. The anthology also includes a selection of material from his more recent albums, self-released by Bill on his Sonoluxe label. The set is rounded off by the inclusion of a bonus CD featuring two previously unreleased BBC Radio One sessions from 1981 and 1983 respectively.

THE PRACTICE OF EVERYDAY LIFE Celebrating Forty Years of Recordings is a lavish tribute to a true original.Press:-
"Nelson’s creative restlessness manifests
itself in myriad musical voyages (he even dabbles in drum’n’bass on 1996’s After
The Satellite Sings), recording for the most part in his home studio to his
own deadlines.”
Record Collector May 2012

Esoteric Recordings’ front-line label, ESOTERIC ANTENNA, is pleased to
announce the release of the debut studio album by HAWKWIND LIGHT ORCHESTRA.

The album "Stellar Variations” showcases
Hawkwind founding member Dave Brock, long serving stalwart Richard Chadwick and
sharp, bright blade Niall Hone’s collection of music forged as a by-product of
the tyranny of distance.

The material features
typical Hawkwind themes of otherworldly splendour and strange, glistening,
aural landscapes. There are futuristic prophecies, animalistic war chants,
stellar peace hymns and an ongoing self-referential opera. "Stellar Variations”
is the sound of three music-nauts firing on all cylinders and is an essential
album in the Hawkwind canon.

Esoteric Recordings’ front-line label, ESOTERIC ANTENNA, is pleased to
announce the release of the new studio album by DAVE BROCK, founder and leader
of the legendary HAWKWIND.

"Looking for Love in the Lost Land of Dreams” is arguably the finest
solo collection ever recorded by Dave Brock. Created over a five-year period,
Dave explains; "It’s an album that was
created using different recording techniques. It’s a collection
of recordings that capture those magic moments that one tries to achieve in the
studio”.

Featuring appearances by Hawkwind drummer Richard Chadwick and the late
Jason Stuart, the album is a fine gathering of material that encompasses Space
Rock, Ambient and Psychedelic styles that are the hallmark of Brock’s solo work
and his work with Hawkwind.
